Hulu will not let me watch a rated r movie like “GO”. I cannot figure out how to change my age on the profile so that it lets me watch rated r content. Anyone???

1. when i use hulu it wont let me stream in HD (in windows version)so the resolution is very bad when i use boxee
2. in hulu when you use their site you have an option under TV-> Browse, to do it by network, this is a lot easier to work with because they have so many shows.
2. pause button doesnt always work

Just to let you know if you get the black screen on start up of boxee 95% of the time you can get out of it by pressing menu a few times, I normally find that if I press menu 2-3 times then wait for about 30-40 seconds (feels like forever) then the atv returns to the atv menu. Not the best solution but you don’t have to get off the couch to do it.

Still praying that someone can figure out how to get Hulu video to play cleanly on the AppleTV. The most recent update was an improvement but still not good enough to watch without getting hopelessly distracted.

As some have already suggested when I try to open Boxee on AppleTV, I get a black screen, and have to unplug and plugin the AppleTV manually to get the AppleTV menu and then to Boxee.

Also, with some many updates to Boxee it would be nice when you go to the Update screen, that it would be evident which software updates are not installed (or conversely, which already have been installed). Thanks!

If the Boxee team can get Netflix to run on ATV. That would be amazing!
Look at the specs. For Mac you need to have an Intel machine running Silver Light. Granted that the ATV falls into the first requirement. Silver Light requires a minimum of 512MB of RAM. The ATV only ships with 256MB of RAM.

If you’re familiar with Microsoft, then you know they are very messy with their work. Usually ending up with bulky programs that are intensive and slow at best.

It sounds like you have all of the key issues on that list.

I’ll be watching for the announcement of the next release this week very closely !
